Hi there...
Thanks for the history stated.
However, to ensure a good treatment and management plan for Psoriasis, we will need some clear pics of the area and more medical, personal, family and socioeconomic history etc.
Since you have nail and scalp Psoriasis, I have a tablet in mind but some basic tests will need be done first and you will have to understand it is long term and willing to stick with a regular follow-up once in 2-3 months as required 🙏
If Ok with the above, please do connect In-person if in Bangalore or an Online Consultation works just as easily and you may use this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation 🙏
Health Tips
Shampoo 🧴 use is temporary, short lived and varies from person to person.. so albeit i can suggest a name, need to understand the picture better and recommend one after knowing all the questions posted above since it should work and be a long term solution as Psoriasis is a chronic ailment.
Avoid OTC products, home remedies, self medication and Google suggestions 🙏

Scalp and nail psoriasis at 34 years is a chronic inflammatory condition that can cause scaling, itching, and nail pitting or thickening. Avoid scratching and harsh hair products. Use a mild medicated shampoo as advised and keep scalp moisturized. Trim nails short and avoid trauma. Since psoriasis can fluctuate and sometimes involve joints, proper evaluation is important. You may visit our clinic for detailed assessment and personalised long-term management.
